Seen below is an IMSA ST 987 Boxster on 18” APEX SM-10. Equipped with a plethora of suspension components and Continental slicks, look out for this car on your East Coast racetracks and classified ads!

A Brembo GT brake kit is stuffed underneath the SM-10. Flaunting 380mm rotors and 6-piston front calipers, they clear the 18” SM-10 spokes and barrels with ease. Do not be forced into running larger diameter wheels than desired due to inferior brake clearance.

Hello All,
The APEX SM-10 wheels look beautiful and at a great price.
When the 19" version is produced, would the concavity be greater in the front wheels than the profile 1?


GMG Racing produced five-lug wheels for the 997 GT2/Turbo, GMG 130R fully forged monoblock 19x9 and 19x12 finished in Titanium Clear. They clear the six-piston Brembos:

Thanks for any additional information.

Good question, and thank you for the feedback. The larger 19" diameter will have an impact on spoke curvature, but we will have more specifics in regards to 19" wheel face profiles in the months to come. We take into account big brake clearance, weight and structural integrity during the engineering phases. How the product functions is always our absolute priority.
